Anyway, the gist of it is, we wanted to be able to provide hats for larger ships. To do this we need more hats, obviously. Someone set herself a personal goal to send 16 hats in 2016. That started the ball rolling and a bunch of us took that challenge as well.
I am on hat #2 right now. The pattern is called Spirals and Helices, and it is a nice way to use up little bits of multiple colors.
My first hat of this round was from a pattern by Kate Osborn called Seathwaite. It is a beautiful pattern and I think the pattern in combo with some lovely yarn from Magpie Fibers, made this one the nicest hat I have ever knit!

I have a box of hats that I knitted that I will be sending off to Pineridge Reservation. Love both of those hats.
What a great idea! Your first hat is great. I love the design. I'm going to have to remember this for the future since I am the daughter and sister of Navy men.
Thanks for doing this!
Love your complicated cabled hat! Am sure your sailor hats will be much appreciated; way to go!
Wow, those are both beautiful, Maggie. Good for you. I'm sure they will be greatly appreciated!!
